“When we were still at kindergarten, Sammy would say ‘Serina is my fiancée. She will be my wife in the future.’ He has been so sweet to me. He would do as I said no matter what I wanted.”
Serina sniffed, “But she took him from me. Clara stole my Sammy. What makes me sad is that everyone partial towards Clara. Why? She slept with Sammy. And I was the victim!”
Tears streamed down her cheeks, “Why? Did I do anything wrong? Great Demon King, what was wrong?”
Derek looked up at Serina and said, “You’re drunk.”
“I’m not drunk! I never got drunk!” Serina roared and directly picked up the bottle to drink.
Derek did not stop her.
“That’s why I can’t let them be happy! I’m not happy! They can’t be happy either! They want me to accept it? No way!”
Derek put on a long face and his eyes got cold. Now he seemed to understand why Serina did not ask for a divorce.
Serina muttered to herself as she rested her head on the table. She had drunk too much and was unconscious now.
Derek sighed and asked Henry to bring some medicine to sober her. He stuffed the pills into Serina’s mouth.
“Mr. Sammy, I’ll ask someone to take Ms. Serina back to her room.”
“It’s alright.” Derek picked Serina up and directly went to his room.
In the bedroom, Derek helped her wash up and put on pajamas. Then he carried her to the bed and tucked her in.
Her cheeks were rosy and her long eyelashes trembled slightly. Her thin lips were tightly pursed, making her look upset.
Derek gently stroked Serina’s cheek with his slender fingers.
How could there be two people looked so much alike?
He would not be so stunned if they just looked the same. However, they even got the same personality.
If Serina didn’t him her story today, he would have thought that the woman had returned!
Although he knew Serina wasn’t her, he couldn’t help himself.
All he could think about was Serina since he met her.
…
It was ten o’clock in the morning.
Derek pressed the button to draw the curtains. The light got into the luxurious bedroom bit by bit. The room was lightened up as the curtains were completely opened.
The sun was already shining brightly. The sudden light made Serina close her eyes and frown, “Don’t turn on the light…”
Serina covered her eyes and turned over. She was just waking up. She yawned and slowly opened her eyes. The first thing she felt was a headache.
Derek sat on the bedside and looked at the woman.
Serina rubbed her eyes and became lucid. She was shocked to see him.
“Let’s start the negotiation.”
“Negotiation?” Serina struggled to get up. She blinked her eyes, “What are you talking about?”
Derek picked up a stack of documents from the bedside table and threw them into Serina’s arms. “I think I already know why you didn’t ask for a divorce.”
“What?” Serina scratched her head, “Didn’t I explain it last time?”
“You just gave me a full explanation yesterday.”
“Yesterday? I…” Serina tried to recall what happened yesterday. ‘I was drinking with Sammy yesterday. Then I came back…. Oh no…. I was hammered!’
“You didn’t ask for a divorce because you want to use me to take revenge on your ex-boyfriend and your half-sister. Right?”
Serina covered her mouth. What exactly did she say to Derek after she got drunk last night?
Derek sneered, “It doesn’t matter. We can just take what we need. I will do what you want me to do. But remember, I will not show up in any public place with you, and you should not tell anyone that we are married.”
Serina blinked, “What do you from me then?”
“A wife. You need to fulfill all your obligations as a wife.”
“You mean sex?” Serina finally understood.
“We’ve done it once. Why not?”
Serina opened her mouth, but she didn’t know how to refute it.
Seeing that Serina didn’t say anything, Derek curled his lips. It was an evil but charming smile. He said, “I can still do what I want with you even if we don’t have this negotiation. Anyway, you’re my legal wife. And even if it’s illegal, no one could say a word about it!”
Serina suddenly felt cold. It was summer, but she shivered.
That was right. With Derek’s power and influence, he could hook up with any woman, and she had no means to resist.
Therefore, there were only two paths for Serina now. First, she would just obey Derek. Second, she could try to gain some benefits under his eyes.
Serina was not stupid. To maximize the benefits, she chose the latter, “Alright, but when will this relationship end? In other words, when will we get divorced officially?”
“It ends when you finish you revenge, when I find someone I truly love, or when I get tired of you.”
“What if you haven’t found the person you love when I finish my revenge?” Serina still had some doubts.
Derek paused for a few seconds. Then he replied, “I’ll find her soon.”
“Alright, deal!” Serina picked up the documents.
“Take a look at the agreements. If there is no problem, you can sign it. It will officially come into effect after you sign.” Derek said in a flat tone.
Serina glanced at the contract and quickly wrote down her name on the last page.
Derek left one copy for Serina. He took the other one and got up to leave.
“Wait!” Serina shouted at Derek, “It is a secret marriage, so you can’t make me pregnant or force me.”
It would be a mess if she got pregnant with his baby.
Derek stopped and turned to look at Serina. Then he left the bedroom without saying anything.
…
In an office of Starlight Entertainment…
A woman around thirty in a business suit was reading a document carefully. It was Mia Sydney, Clara’s agent.
She heard Clara vomiting in the bathroom. Mia looked up at the direction of the bathroom and shook her head.
Along with the flush of a toilet, Clara walked out. She looked a little tired, she had suffered from morning sickness these days.
“Clara, when are you going to have an abortion?”
